Easy Compost Bins

These easy compost bins and 2 propagator tops are a step up from a starter kit #1 allowing just a little more room for composting and propagating.
Four Compots and Lids plus two Propagator Tops is a good starter pack for 3 people who like to grow herbs or veggies and wheatgrass.
The fourth of the easy compost bins gives you extra space that you might need if you have more waste than usual.
And it allows you to let one pot sit for 4 to 6 weeks to harvest any composted soil – but wait for it all to decompose before you do this.

Four easy compost bins give you greater choice where to place them around your garden.
Or perhaps you have raised garden beds. Or maybe a big tree that needs nourishing as well.

Nourishing a big tree

Plant one beside the tree, fill with your waste then reverse the lid and lock into place.
You can now mow over the Compot right up to the edge of the tree and not worry about a composter being in the way.
Cover it with your fresh grass clipping or leaves so it blends into the surrounding area.

Weekly wheatgrass to juice

Having the second top makes it easy to grow wheatgrass on a weekly basis so you never run out of juice.
While one is growing the other is ready for cutting and juicing

Or use one over a seedling in the garden.
Cover the seedling with the top and hold in place with the four stakes.
This will keep all the bugs and slugs from eating your new little seedling until they are ready to be exposed to the elements.

Basically, you can choose where and how you want to use them.
It is exciting when you propagate your first seeds.
Just give it a go and have some fun.

The green Compots are made from virgin plastic material that should last you roughly 10 years plus in the garden. There are no harmful chemicals in this material and it should not break if you stand on the lid. The lid will usually push into the pot rather than break. If you hit it with a rotary hoe (as one customer did) it will no doubt get chopped up. The lid is designed to take the weight of a 50 Kg child who might run across it. I personally have jumped on them and the lid usually just pushes inside the Compot Base. The product is guaranteed for 2 years under normal circumstances, but it should last much longer than 2 years so you get many valuable years of use out of your Compots.

The Compot Top is made of clear plastic with a small amount of UV stabilizer added. This means it will last for several years in your garden before it deteriorates. I have had one in the garden in the same spot every day for 5 years now and it is still going strong. There is no reason why you won’t get 10 years of use out of it as you will most likely not have it in the sun every single day like I have done to test its endurance.

POSTAGE COSTS:To post one Compot cost the same as three Compots (unless you live in Brisbane where the rates are generally less than most other areas) so consider the postage costs when you order to get the best value out of your post.

After 3 Compots it costs roughly the same to post up to 14 Compots depending on where you live. You can test different bundles for postage costs by entering your suburb details and requesting a quote. Just don’t follow through with the order. Try another bundle to compare postage costs, and then make your choice on the bundle you want. Or call us if you can’t work this out.

Please be aware of excessive postage as the program will charge you for every bundle you purchase if ordering two different bundles. This is easily resolved with a custom quote or by calling us. If you make a mistake with the postage we refund you the difference or you can top up your order with some garden supplements if it is a small amount.

If for any reason you feel the postage to your area is excessive (and sometimes it is too remote areas) please email us or go to this link at Australia postand check if the postage is better using the box dimensions and weight listed above, plus your area code and suburb, and our area code and suburb (4005 New Farm).

General Info:

The Compot and Propagator Top is a versatile system used for direct composting as well as propagating seeds on top of the pot without the need of greenhouses and warming trays to grow your seeds. The Top acts like a mini greenhouse or terrarium maintaining a stable warm moist environment under the top while the compost below creates just enough heat as it decomposes to keep your little seeds warm enough to germinate. You can use this in a veggie garden or inside a chicken coop. So not only are you disposing of all your waste you are using the energy from the composting material to create warmth and moisture for growing new plants.

Depending on where you live, what your climate is like, and your garden environment will depend on whether you should propagate in the shade or directly in the sun. If your climate is too hot then generally speaking you will find propagating in a shady area or partly shaded area might work better for some seeds. In winter you might find direct sun works best. But like all gardening, it can be a bit of trial and error in your specific conditions.

It is great for growing wheatgrass to juice, put in a salad or feed to your chickens. In winter wheat will sprout readily for cutting in less than ten days. In summer it can take longer because wheat is a winter crop.

You can also use the Propagator Top over any small plant or seed directly in the garden to keep slugs and bugs off your new little seedlings. Hold it in place with the four stakes-placed through the holes in the tabs on the side of the Propagator Top.
